//I am talking about a browser plugin where the media player is embedded into the webpage.

Sorry if we got our wires crossed.

Noone wants to have an external player pop up in today's Web 2.0 environment. They want it to play within the browser (embedded) //

If a media file is playing embedded within the webpage, then presumably the webpage is dictating the size of the display window, not the browser nor the media player part.

Ok and when I double click onto the media player box in Windows WMP goes fullscreen, not with Kaffeine.

That is just a GUI difference.

I think what you really want is the mplayerplugin, and mplayer. Try that.
